Hi. I have Alienware m17x R4 with gtx 880m and 120Hz panel. I'm on BIOS A09 [unlocked] and want to upgrade to A13 [official] as i no longer need to disable the IGP after upgrading to the 120Hz LCD panel. Can i just flash A13 [official] BIOS with the insydeflash to replace A09 [unlocked] or do i need to do something else?
If someone asked for the same like me I flashed the A13 without any problems.
(This is what i did, not something you must do!)
Simply i just booted from a windows image on a USB drive and went into CMD, found the A13 BIOS and started the InsydeFlash. I did this method to not have any programs disturbing in the background to risk bricking the BIOS. Also I did this method when flashing the unlocked A09 because my drive is in UEFI and A05 BIOS doesn't support UEFI, and i found this method very easy and probably the most secure if you flash from OS.
Wish you all good luck!
